The association of cardiovascular failure with treatment for ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infection

Abstract: Ventilator associated-lower respiratory tract infections (VA-LRTIs), either ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) or tracheobronchitis (VAT), accounts for most nosocomial infections in intensive care units (ICU) including. Our aim was to determine if appropriate antibiotic treatment in patients with VA-LRTI will effectively reduce mortality in patients who had cardiovascular failure. Methods: This was a pre-planned subanalysis of a large prospective cohort of mechanically ventilated patients for at least 48 h … Show more

“…Multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR) bacteria and inappropriate initial antibiotic treatment are well-known risk factors for mortality in VAP patients [28,29]. Although the incidence of MDR, and inappropriate initial antibiotic treatment was lower in COVID-19 patients, as compared to the two other groups, the relationship between VAP and mortality was only significant in COVID-19 patients.…”

“…VA-LRTI as a whole might have some common ground with both VAT and VAP [ 3 ]. Martin-Loeches et al [ 44 ] recently evaluated the clinical significance of VA-LRTI in patients with cardiovascular failure manifesting in a Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) cardiovascular score of 4 (at the time of the VA-LRTI diagnosis and present for at least 12 h). As expected, patients with cardiovascular failure had a higher mortality rate than those without it.…”

“…In addition, we also showed that adequate antibiotic therapy had a significant impact on outcomes. And recently, we found that the impact of the adequacy of antibiotic therapy on mortality was conferred only to patients without cardiovascular failure [4].…”
